All dilutions are based on a fi nal volume of 10 mL, so several dilutions will require
small volumes of the water sample. Graduated pipets should be used for all
dilutions. If volumetric glassware is not available, dilutions can be made with the
colorimeter tube. Fill the tube to the 10 mL line with the sample and then transfer
it to another container. Add 10 mL volumes of deionized water to the container
and mix. Transfer 10 mL of the diluted sample to the colorimeter tube and follow
the test procedure. Repeat the dilution and testing procedures until the result falls
within the range of the calibration. Multiply the test result by the dilution factor.
For example, if 10 mL of the sample water is diluted with three 10 mL volumes of
deionized water, the dilution factor is four. The test result of the diluted sample
should be multiplied by four.
